ClearPass and MPSK

‎11-30-201802:39 AM

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can explain how the proposed MPSK feature work in AOS 8.4.0 would work in conjunction with ClearPass , if any documentation is available that would be handy. I know this unreleased code but it would potentially be useful for me I solving a particular customer challenge.

How about now :)

I'm guessing MPSK doesn't have much to do with ClearPass, but I'd like to understand also if there is any interaction. We are still using PSK a lot for production, it's a trade off in security vs simplicity/less things to break. MPSK might be a good compromise?

While the controller side is available, MPSK is not yet officially released. MPSK will only be supported with ClearPass and will be available in an upcoming release. It will become the recommended deployment model for headless/IoT devices.

Ahh I see. So is every authentication handled by ClearPass then, nothing locally on the controller like traditional PSK? And does the client need to support it (WPA3?), or does the client see just a normal WPA2 PSK?
